SEMINARIO a Roma Tre Prof. Emilio De Santis (Universita La Sapienza) Titolo: Stochastic Ising model with fast decreasing temperature. Mercoledi' 19 Ottobre 2016 ORE 15:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C, 311 Abstract In the regime of temperature fast decreasing to zero, results on the stochastic Ising models are presented. A k-dynamics allowing to flip sets of k spins at the same time is also introduced showing that the behavior of the models deeply depends on this parameter. For these models we follow the classification of Gandolfi, Newman, Stein (2000), i.e. a model is of type F if any spin flips finitely many times a.s., it is of type I if any spin flips infinitely many times a.s., or it is of type M otherwise. Conditions to obtain models of type F, I, or M and examples are discussed.

Thursday 20 October, from 12.00 to 13.00, room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Rome Speaker: Domenico Marinucci (Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata) Title: The geometry of random eigenfunctions Abstract: The characterization of the geometric properties for the excursion sets of random fields on generic manifolds is a classical topic of probability theory; it has been very much revived recently by the discovery of the Gaussian Kinematic Formula by Adler and Taylor (2007). This formula provides a fully explicit characterization of the expected value for so-called Minkowski functionals of excursion sets under very broad circumstances. In this talk, we review some very recent results pointing at a generalization of this formula to the variance of Minkowski functionals and to a corresponding Central Limit Theorem, in the case of random eigenfunctions. The talk is based on a recent paper with Valentina Cammarota; if time permits, we will also discuss some related results involving also Giovanni Peccati, Maurizia Rossi and Igor Wigman. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

SEMINARIO Fisica Matematica Milanesi Paolo Aix Marseille Titolo: Metastabilita' del modello di Ising stocastico Martedi' 18 Ottobre 2016 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre AULA 311 (SEMINARI) Largo San L. Murialdo,1, Roma Abstract: Un sistema fisico si trova in uno stato metastabile se permane per lungo tempo in una sorta di equilibrio apparente prima di rilassare in modo brusco verso lo stato stabile. Per i sistemi ferromagnetici questo tipo di fenomeno si manifesta nel ciclo di isteresi. In questo seminario consideriamo la dinamica di Glauber del modello di Ising 2d al di sotto della temperatura critica e con un piccolo campo magnetico esterno. Un lavoro di Schonmann e Shlosman ha chiarificato l'asintotica logaritmica del tempo di transizione metastabile cosi' come la sua dipendenza dalla forma di Wulff, mentre rimane la questione di studiarne la legge. Passeremo dapprima in rassegna i risultati in letteratura per poi parlare dell'esponenzialita' del tempo di transizione, illustrando l'euristica ed alcune idee della prova.

Thursday 13 October, from 12.00 to 13.00, room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Rome. Speaker: Max Klimm (Technische Universität Berlin) Title: Optimal Impartial Selection Abstract: A fundamental property of many interactions like the awarding of prizes, the election of heads of committees or the process of peer review is that one or more members of a set of agents are selected based on nominations from within the set. Since the agents act as voters and nominees at the same time it is desirable that a selection mechanism is impartial in the sense that the probability of selecting an agent is independent of the nominations cast by that agent. In graph theoretic terms, this leads to the interesting problem of selecting vertices with high in-degrees under the constraint that the selection probability of each vertex is independent of its outgoing edges. We give a randomized impartial mechanism that in expectation selects an agent with at least half the maximum number of nominations. This is best possible subject to impartiality and resolves a conjecture of Alon et al. Further results are given for the case where some agent receives many nominations, each agent casts at least one nomination, and more than one agent is selected. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

Si avvisa che il giorno mercoledì 12 ottobre 2016 alle ore 15 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- aula seminari 4026) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Dott. Federico Severino (Università Bocconi, Milano) Titolo: “Weak time-derivatives and no arbitrage pricing” Abstract: The risk-neutral pricing formula is a central result of asset pricing theory that provides the proper valuation of European derivatives in absence of arbitrages. Despite the variety of option payoffs, price dynamics are driven by the same interest rate process. We formalize this intuition by showing that no arbitrage prices constitute the weak solution of a differential equation, where the risk-free rate has a prominent role. To achieve this goal, we introduce the notion of weak time-derivative, which permits to differentiate functions of Markov processes. It generalizes the infinitesimal generator and provides a characterization of martingales, submartingales and supermartingales; in particular, martingales are characterized by a null weak time-derivative. Through the weak time-derivative, we formulate the no arbitrage pricing differential equation and we prove existence and uniqueness of the solution with both deterministic and stochastic interest rates. Finally, we reformulate the eigenvalue-eigenvector problem of Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) and we retrieve a decomposition of the stochastic discount factor, well-known in the long-term risk literature. This is joint work with Massimo Marinacci. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Thursday 29 September, from 12.00 to 13.00, room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Rome. Speaker: Stefano Vaccari (Sapienza Università di Roma) Title: Social learning in a competitive market with consumer reviews Abstract: Two products of unknown qualities are simultaneously launched by two different firms in the market. An infinite population of consumers with heterogeneous preferences sequentially decide whether to purchase one of the two products or not to buy at all. Arriving consumers estimate the qualities of products based on the distribution of binary online reviews reported by prior consumers and decide accordingly, obeying a non-Bayesian rule. The goal of our work is to describe how the online review mechanism drives the spread of information in a competitive market and to provide conditions under which consumers' quality estimates converge almost surely to the true qualities of products. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

EFI2, December 5-6, Padova, Italy: second announcement and call for papers
by Tiziano Vargiolu 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Dear all, I am glad to invite you to contribute and take part in the second edition of the workshop Energy Finance Italia, this time held in Padova (Italy) on December 5-6, 2016: http://events.math.unipd.it/efi2/ The aim of this workshop, at its second national edition, is to aggregate in a yearly meeting all Italian researchers, both from academics as from the industrial world, who deal with energy markets and related topics in a wide sense (energy-related time series like market prices, weather etc., evaluation and optimization of physical assets, etc.). Nevertheless, the participation (both as speakers as in the audience) is by no means limited only to Italian speaking people, and non-Italian participants are very welcome. The formula of this workshop (and hopefully of the next ones to follow) is made after the very successful "Workshops in Quantitative Finance", held annually in Italy for the last 18 years: - NO invited speakers, but only contributed ones: this is intented to favour the presence of both young researchers and more senior colleagues, and will favour the exchange of ideas and the birth of new collaborations. - no parallel sessions, but only one session: everyone listens to everybody. - each talk will have an official discussant: this ensures some very interesting and fruitful academic discussions. We all hope to see you all in Padova! Important dates --------------- - October 15, 2016: deadline for abstract submission - November 1, 2016: notification of acceptance Tiziano -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Vargiolu Dipartimento di Matematica Phone: +39 049 8271383 Universita' di Padova Fax: +39 049 8271428 Via Trieste, 63 E-mail: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it I-35121 Padova (Italy) WWW: http://www.math.unipd.it/~vargiolu --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Alois Kneip

Si avvisa che in data 23-09-2016, alle ore 11:15 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Alois Kneip Universitat Bonn Title: On the Optimal Reconstruction of Partially Observed Functional Data Abstract: If only fragments of functions are observable and none of these fragments cover the total domain, then it is impossible to estimate the covariance function over its total support. We propose a new functional PCA based prediction procedure that allows to reconstruct functional data from their fragmental observations under this challenging setup. By contrast to functional prediction models in the literature, we can proof the optimality of our prediction model without making use of the crucial, but unverifiable, orthogonality assumption on the prediction error. This also allows us to identify situations under which our prediction procedure leads to a perfect reconstruction of the fragmental observations, i.e., without any prediction error. Finite sample properties are investigated through simulations and a real data application. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Thursday 22 September, from 12.00 to 13.00, room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Rome. Speaker: Frank Riedel (Bielefeld University) Title: Ambiguous Actions in Games Abstract: We propose a framework for normal form games where players can use Knightian uncertainty strategically. In such Ellsberg games, ambiguity–averse players may render their actions objectively ambiguous by using devices such as Ellsberg urns, in addition to the standard mixed strategies. While Nash equilibria remain equilibria in the extended game, there arise new Ellsberg equilibria with distinct outcomes, as we illustrate by negotiation games with three players. We characterize Ellsberg equilibria in two–person games with conflicting interests. These equilibria turn out to be consistent with experimental deviations from Nash equilibrium play. We also discuss extensions to dynamic games and a version of Harsanyi’s purification theorem if time permits. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

Avviso Seminario: 20 Settembre 2016 - Giorgio Ferrari
by Gabriele Stabile 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

*Martedì 20 Settembre ore 13:00 *presso l'aula di Matematica (Sapienza Università di Roma, Dipartimento MEMOTEF, Via del Castro Laurenziano 9, Roma - Facoltà di Economia, 1° piano) *Giorgio Ferrari* (Center for Mathematical Economics (IMW) Bielefeld University, Germany ) terrà un seminario dal titolo *"Stochastic nonzero-sum games: a new connection between singular control and optimal stopping"* Abstract: In this talk I present a new connection between a class of 2-player nonzero-sum games of optimal stopping and certain 2-player nonzero-sum games of singular control. I show that whenever a Nash equilibrium in the game of stopping is attained by hitting times at two separate boundaries, then such boundaries also trigger a Nash equilibrium in the game of singular control. Moreover a differential link between the players' value functions holds across the two games. An application to a problem of pollution control is finally discussed. The talk is based on a joint work with Tiziano De Angelis (The University of Leeds). Si invitano gli interessati a partecipare Saluti Gabriele Stabile

******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Venerdi 16 Settembre 2016 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula 5 del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Boyu REN (Harvard University) A BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRIC MODEL FOR MICROBIOME DATA ANALYSIS We develop a statistical model to analyse microbiome profiling data based on sequencing of genetic fingerprints in 16S ribosomal RNA. The analysis allows us to quantify the uncertainty in ecological ordination and clustering methods commonly applied in microbiome research. In addition, it can be extended into a framework for association studies when sample characteristics are available. The method is based on the estimation of the underlying microbial distribution in experimental samples using a dependent Dirichet Process prior in which dependence is expressed through the combination of low-dimensional latent features and observed sample covariates. This type of model is advantageous for several reasons. First, information is borrowed across samples to estimate underlying microbial distributions. Second, the nonparametric nature of the model avoids the artefacts of truncation and rarefaction techniques. Lastly, the Bayesian framework mitigates the effects of multiple testing for associations between covariates and species abundance and other hypotheses of interest. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Thursday 15 September, from 12.00 to 13.00, room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Rome. Speaker: Panayotis Mertikopoulos (CNRS and LIG, Grenoble, France) Title: Learning in concave games with imperfect information Abstract: This paper examines the convergence properties of a class of learning schemes for concave N-person games - that is, games with convex action spaces and individually concave payoff functions. Specifically, we focus on a family of learning methods where players adjust their actions by taking small steps along their individual payoff gradients and then "mirror" the output back to their feasible action spaces. Assuming players only have access to gradient information that is accurate up to a zero-mean error with bounded variance, we show that when the process converges, its limit is a Nash equilibrium. We also introduce an equilibrium stability notion which we call variational stability (VS), and we show that stable equilibria are locally attracting with high probability whereas globally stable states are globally attracting with probability 1. Additionally, in finite games, we find that dominated strategies become extinct, strict equilibria are locally attracting with high probability, and the long-term average of the process converges to equilibrium in 2-player zero-sum games. Finally, we examine the scheme's convergence speed and we show that if the game admits a strict equilibrium and the players' mirror maps are surjective, then, with high probability, the process converges to equilibrium in a finite number of steps, no matter the level of uncertainty. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

Con preghiera di diffusione. Seminario del Dipartimento di Informatica venerdì 16 settembre 2016, Sala Verde, ore 15.00 (rinfresco 14.45, inizio seminario 15.00) Giovanni Barone Adesi, Università della Svizzera italiana "WTI Crude oil option implied VaR and CVaR: an empirical application" Abstract In a recent theoretical paper Barone Adesi (2015) shows how to extract the option implied VaR and CVaR. This is the fi rst empirical application of that paper. We extract the 2014-2015 daily option implied VaR and CVaR from the WTI crude oil future prices and the options written on it. Without relying on any distributional assumption we are able to backtest the CVaR values, thus proposing a coherent and elicitable risk measure. From a forecasting viewpoint a ratio of the two risk measures allows us to predict the probability density of jumps in the underlying price, which would have been unpredictable with standard inference methods. Keywords: Option Prices, Risk Measures, Var and Cvar, Elicitability. http://search.usi.ch/people/5be736fa2b7c09db295e1b3747f643b9/Barone-Adesi-G… Contact Person: Luca Di Persio __ Luca Di Persio - PhD assistant professor of Probability and Mathematical Finance Dept.

Avviso di seminari
by Eva Riccomagno 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Buongiorno a Tutti, Si informa che lunedi’ 12 settembre presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Universita’ di Genova, aula 715, si terranno i due seguenti seminari. Cordiali saluti, Eva Riccomagno ore 15.:30 Manuele Leonelli, Instituto de Matemática, Universidade Federal do Rio De Janeiro, UFRJ https://sites.google.com/site/manueleleonelli <https://sites.google.com/site/manueleleonelli> TITLE: Bayesian semiparametric multivariate models for extreme exceedances ABSTRACT: Interest on extremal events generally involves the joint study of many concomitant variables, as for instance wave height and surge. We build on previous work which specifically accounted for marginal exceedances over a high, unknown threshold, by combining it with flexible families of copulae. This approach allows for the detection of specific patterns of dependence be them extremal or not. Attention is also devoted to the ascertainment of asymptotic independence, where standard multivariate extreme value theory is not applicable. Estimation of higher quantiles and other quantities of interest is performed both marginally and conditionally via MCMC algorithms. Our approach is evaluated through a series of simulations and is applied to real data sets. ore 16:30 Alessio Signori, Dipartimento di Scienze della Salute, Universita’ degli Studi di Genova TITLE: Longitudinal trajectories of EDSS in primary progressive multiple sclerosis patients A latent class approach ABSTRACT: Background. Over the last decades several natural history studies on primary progressive MS (PPMS) patients were reported from international registries. In this population a consistent heterogeneity was observed in the rate of disability accumulation, as time to reach the milestone of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) 6 ranged between 7 and 14 years from onset. Objectives. To identify subgroups of PPMS patients with similar longitudinal trajectories of EDSS over time. Methods. All PPMS patients collected within the MSBase international registry, who had their first EDSS assessment within 5 years from onset were included in the analysis. Longitudinal EDSS scores were modelled by a latent class mixed model (LCMM), using a nonlinear function of time from onset. LCMM is an advanced statistical approach that models heterogeneity between patients by classifying them into unobserved groups (latent classes) showing similar characteristics. Results. A total of 853 PPMS (51.7% females) from 24 countries with a mean age at onset of 42.4 yrs (SD: 10.8 yrs), a median baseline EDSS of 4 (IQR: 2.5-5.5) and 2.4 yrs of disease duration (SD: 1.5 yrs) were included. LCMM detected 3 different subgroups of patients with a mild (n=143 ;16.8%), moderate (n=378; 44.3%) or severe (n=332; 38.9%) disability trajectory. Median time to EDSS 4 was 14, 5 and 3.7 years respectively, for the 3 groups. The probability of reaching EDSS 6 at 10 years was 0%, 46.5% and 83.1% respectively. Using this modelling approach it is possible to predict the future disease course of a subject with PPMS using early EDSS assessments. Using only 1 year of EDSS monitoring 73% of patients are correctly classified in their disability trajectory group (mild, moderate or severe); after 3 years this proportion increases to 87% and after 5 years it reaches 92%. Conclusions. Using long-term observations and an LCMM modelling approach, it is possible to build a dynamic model, to predict the future disability trajectory of newly diagnosed PPMS patients. In the design of future clinical trials in PPMS, using time to reach disability milestones as the primary endpoint, the existence of heterogeneous classes of patients should be considered. ________________________________________________________ Prof. Eva Riccomagno Dipartimento di Matematica - Universita` degli Studi di Genova Via Dodecaneso, 35 - 16146 Genova - ITALIA Tel: +39 - 010 - 353 6938 Fax: +39 - 010 - 353 6960 www.dima.unige.it/~riccomag
